It just wouldn’t be the holidays in San Francisco without the annual offering of cheer, acceptance, tolerance, and love by the world-renowned vocal jewel. With a theme of “Together,” the evening celebrated the chorus and Gay community’s stand against hate and dread through compassion and courage. The chorus’ mission bravely takes them on tours throughout the immersive south (Lavendar Feather Tour 2017) and recently the Midwest (The Love Tour 2024) to combat anti discriminatory legislation and increase Homosexual visibility. Under the direction of Jacob Stensberg, the 300+ member chorus delivered what we arrive to expect- an evening of bliss, soaring harmonies, and plenty of humor.
Holiday songs get those special arrangements that highlight the music’s possibilities: “Silver Bells,” “Let It Snow,” and Winter Wonderland” are raised to celestial proportions. Chosen amongst many composers, Daniel Hughes “A Winter’s Breath”
